Soon Anriette was breathing again, but weak and tired. Therefore, she was
carried up to a room in Mel's house to recuperate. She slept a little and
Mel and Luke stayed with her. When she awoke, they talked for a while about
her tumble into the water.
"How on earth did you fall in Anriette?" Asked Luke.
"Well, it was a kind of combination of things really." Explained Anriette, who was running her fingers through her long, dark hair, staring into space with her deep, hazel eyes.
"Yeah, hoping Jack would save you and then get a whole four days to rest, AND a kiss!" Laughed Mel and Luke like teenagers do.
"No!" Shouted Anriette, as loudly as she could, feeling rather offended. "My corset was too tight, and I tripped over my dress. Anyway, I don't want to rest for too long. It wasn't a 'kiss' either, it was mouth to mouth resuscitation."
"So, you did like Jack saving you?" Mel retorted, raising one eyebrow, and Luke and herself gave Anriette such annoying looks that she gave in.
"Ok, ok, so I do like him, but that wasn't the reason I fell in, how was I supposed to know he was going to save me?! Besides, you're too young to understand it ***." She said.
"Alright now, love?" Said Jack standing at the doorway, giving her a cheeky grin.
"Do you mind?" Asked Anriette in a slightly seductive voice, as she was only in her night-gown, however she was also slightly embarrassed, as she wasn't sure whether he had just heard them talking.
"Not at all, darlin', as long as you don'" Jack replied, with a smile, as he came in sat on the edge of her bed.
Luke and Mel were looking at each other, with raised eyebrows.
"Do you think we ought to leave them?" Whispered Mel to Luke.
"No! I wanna watch! Oh, ok I s'pose so" Luke said, changing his decision when he saw Mel's expression.
So Mel and Luke told Anriette they would be back to see her soon, and left the room.
Jack stayed with Anriette until Elizabeth came in and was very angry with him for being there, so he left.
"Elizabeth, I didn't mind, honestly." Said Anriette dreamily, staring outside to where Jack was standing.
"Well I do, I don't approve of him being in your room while your resting and just in a night dress. Look at me!"
"Lizzie, Liz, Liz, he saved me from drowning, he's seen me in my under dress for crying out loud!" Shouted Anriette.
"Yes, but you couldn't control that, and now you can!"
"And I am controlling it! It's my life, Liz, not yours, you've sorted yours out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to sort out mine." She snapped, getting up and dressing in her self-made dress, which showed her corset off slightly, as the top was a little short. She then rushed down the stairs, catching up with Jack.
'All I wanna do is have some fun, I've got a feeling I'm not the only one'
"Should you be up so soon?" Jack enquired, eyeing her up and down, admiringly.
"I just wanted to thank you, as I didn't before, so..." She said before giving him a small peck on the cheek.
"That's alright, darlin'" Jack answered, although quite dazed (and, as some of you may know, this is unusual for Jack). *** Anriette is 29, by the way.
